This article is about the Mega Man: Fully Charged character. For others named Light, see Light (disambiguation).
"No son, war is ugly. Fighting is a last resort. Peace? Robots and humans living together as one? THAT is awesome."
―Dr. Light, Throwing Shade Part I

Dr. Thomas Light is a character from Mega Man: Fully Charged. He is the father of Aki and Suna and a supporter of human/robot relations. He was a veteran of the Hard Wars, and has worked since their end to facilitate peace in Silicon City and beyond. Much like his games counterpart, he is a robotics expert, and loves his children dearly.

Overview[]

In contrast to his original video game counterpart who is short and overweight, this version of Dr. Light is a tall, muscular man, with white hair in a ponytail and a lighter shade of blue eyes. He is much more proactive, taking part in fights when required, and is capable of taking on a robot on his own. He wears a red shirt, jeans, brown shoes, and a white coat. Beneath his lab coat, he has scars going up both of his arms, presumably of injuries he sustained during the Hard Age. Dr. Light is confident about all things science, though less confident with social situations. He has unlimited affection for his children and lets them make and learn from their own mistakes. Despite being aware that Aki is Mega Man he keeps it a secret from him until later in the series.

History[]

Animated series[]

Dr. Light debuts when he causes an explosion in his lab. Coming out covered in soot, Dr. Light wonders why Suna and Aki are up so late, to which they inform him it is actually morning. Brushing it off with a bad joke, Dr. Light rushes off when he sees eggs, and asks what the two are whispering about as they discuss telling their father that Aki is Mega Man. Instead they tell him about the their school's assembly that day that Light is scheduled to speak at about human/robot relations, and Aki is excited to hear about his battles during the Hard Age. Light tells Aki that he doesn't think kids want to hear about his fighting during the war, and that war is an ugly matter that should always be a last resort, and that peace between humans and robots is more awesome. At the school, Light is marveled at by bystanders and greeted by Principal 100100. Light expresses his excitement to address Silicon City about peace during Unity Week, but is interrupted by Sergeant Breaker Night, who asks him if he talks about unity enough if he think it will actually become a reality. Light introduces Night to his children, stating Night is a hero of the Hard Age and he was Night's doctor during the Hard Age, and asks Night why he was there. Night denounces the idea of man and machine coexisting, and Light tells him to not linger in the past and that the two species have built a beautiful world together and invites Night to join them. He then saves Night from Fire Man when he attacks the disgruntled sergeant, but is in turn saved by Mega Man when Fire Man is about to attack him, and thanks him. He then clears from the area as Mega Man and Fire Man fight Throwing Shade Part I Light reprimands Night as he tries to convince the public that Fire Man's attack proves humans and machines can't coexist, and tries to negotiate with Fire Man, but he attacks him and Suna. He sarcastically tells Night that he really knows how to deescalate a situation as Night goads Fire Man, and is saved by Mega Man again when Fire Man attacks them. The group takes cover in the sewer, where Light asks Mega Man if he is ok, and watches as Mega Man engages Fire Man again. He tries to reason with Night again when Night states that war between humans and robots was coming again, and stands by Team Light as they defend Night from Fire Man. Light thanks Mega Man for taking care of the situation and says that Night has much to think about after the events of that day, but knowing Night, that is not the last they'll hear from him. He then cheers for Mega Man with the rest of the bystanders. Throwing Shade Part II

Comic series[]

Six Months after The Gauntlet, Dr. Light takes a Good Guild escort out to the badlands, where he hopes to negotiate and broker a peace with the Robot Master leader, Skull Man. When Skull Man reveals his plan to kill Light in order to send a message, Dr. Light calls for Mega Man, who jumps in and battles the various Robot Masters in Skull Man's base. When Mega Man tries to take on Skull Man himself, however, Skull Man drills into the crest of his helmet, causing a memory leak that incapacitates Aki as he recieves visions of his past in the Hard Age. Dr. Light, enraged, manages to break free of the Robot Master holding onto him and starts to pummel Skull Man, shouting "Get your hands off my son!" Skull Man gets Dr. Light on the ground and begins charging a shot, but Rush swoops and knocks him off balance, before picking up both Dr. Light and Mega Man and taking them back to the escort. On the way home, Dr. Light attempts to console his son, before Mega Mini emerges and falls unconscious in Mega Man's hands. As soon as they get home, Dr. Light enters his lab to begin the repairs, not even taking the time to explain to Suna what happened. Later that night, Aki has dreams of his memory leak, seeing not only himself and Daini, but Dr. Light in some kind of power armor battling hordes of robots. He wakes with a start and goes to ask his father about it. Dr. Light is deep in his work repairing Mega Mini, and insists that Aki goes to bed.

A few days later, during the battle with Skull Man, Dr. Light arrives clad in the same power armor he wore during the Hard Age to assist Mega Man and Zero. He briefly skirmishes with Chaotique, setting her up to be knocked down by Zero before punching her hard enough to send her flying and knock her out. He and Zero then rescue Mega Man, who is cornered with a damaged buster by four Robot Masters. Mega Man and Dr. Light's reunion is brief, with Aki angrily passing Light by, having remembered his past in the Hard Age. The three of them then confront Skull Man. They make a small attempt to talk down to Skull Man, but he attacks and they fight back. Dr. Light plays support, acting as a wall to contain Skull Man during the fight, until Skull Man is knocked down. Mega Man makes one past attempt to appeal to Skull Man, but he detonates himself and nearly kills the three of them, but Mega Man is able to put up an ice wall in time to shield them from the blast.

With Skull Man dead, Team Light has little time to recouperate before Daini attacks, having been upgraded by Dr. Wily. Dr. Light tries to reason with Daini, but Daini attacks him, knocking him on his back and mostly destroying his power armor. Before he can get back on his feet, Daini, Mega Man and Zero take the fighting elsewhere. Just when it looks like Daini is about to beat Mega Man and Zero, Dr. Light catches up and, with the strength of what little of his power armor remains, is able to hold off Daini long enough for Mega Man to go Fully Charged. From there, Dr. Light and Zero can only watch as Mega Man and Daini battle.

Abilities[]

Dr. Light is an expert in robotics and, seemingly, all things mechanical. In Throwing Shade Part I, he mentions he was also Sgt. Night's doctor, however it's unclear if this means he was Night's physician, or if he merely designed Night's bionic arm.

Dr. Light is also show to be extremely strong and durable. While many of his accomplishments could be chalked up to "cartoon logic," he is nonetheless an experienced and powerful fighter, enough so that during the Hard Age he had earned himself the nickname "Bot's Bane," according to Dr. Wily.

Equipment[]

Buster Gun: a white gun what its canon look similar to the Mega Buster but a little bigger.

Power Armor: Both during the Hard Age, and during the battle with Wily, Dr. Light dons what appears to be some kind of power armor, which leaves his body exposed but has huge limbs that make him extremely strong. It's unknown if he built it himself, or if it was a government weapon given to him as a soldier.

Trivia[]

  • Dr Light's voice actor, Garry Chalk, previously voiced several characters in the Ruby-Spears cartoon.
  • The gun Dr. Light use may be a prototype of the Mega Buster, considering its similar apearence, and lack of charged shoots.
  • While this Dr. Light may appear very different from his games counterpart, his past in weapons development and support of human/robot relations is actually quite similar to certain interpretations, albeit adjusted to fit the story and world of Fully Charged.
